this idea is retarded, all the skateboards you’ve designed look retarded and you will make no business or sales. maybe from a couple idiots for a good 2 months. but no more than that. sorry. if you want to know more about skateboarding you should take a look at this website.

this is kinda pointless. sure, it does show some good rendering skills. however, the design is not good and NOBODY would want this in it’s current state. it folds up to be even more awkward and less portable!

Seriously though, while the novelty of having a foldable skateboard may have intrigued Jin-Seok Hwang, I would suggest that this prototype remain in an AutoCAD form.

Imagining an adult on the cusp of his midlife crisis wearing Vans and Marc Jacobs sunglasses awkwardly pushing through the streets on this is just embarrassing and ridiculous. It’s bad enough we’ve given them scooters to strap to their back and navigate poorly through public places.

I suggest that they ignore the impulse to buy this seemingly convenient albeit heavy object and purchase a game console with a virtual skateboard game. It’s better to have them indoors reliving their childhood fantasies than in the way of the rest of us on the street.

i saw a foldable surfboard once (not a concept, it was real). the idea being that it’s easy to travel with – throw on planes etc. can’t see any practical use for this thing even though the pictures are very nice.

Making them unbreakable and cheap would put us out of business- we believe in an accelerated planned obsolesence philosophy: really expensive and basically disposable! Thanks for the request though. We might be able to get the guys at pbsboards.wordpress.com to solve that one

Lame .. what’s the point .. skateboards are for skating not folding up. I feel bad for you that you have nothing better to do than sit aound and make usless crap. And yes the wood skateboard is awesome it has been awesome since the 70’s .. why would we want your piece of crap fold up ..stick to making lawn chairs …

Well I find this idea to be quite practical and interesting. Not everyone in the world is a hard core skateboarder who allows their entire life to be consumed by the “lifestyle”. Im just an everyday serious minded guy looking at practical transportation in such uncertain economic times (GAS!). I like this idea. How much would this item cost? is it, or will it be available for purchase? What does it weigh? and most importantly how would I get my hands on an item like this?

I have a difficult time understanding the intent behind some of the replies that you (ngboards) leave for people who are leaving their critique.
Honestly, I was inspired by this design to contribute to it’s function although seeing your reaction to others, I will keep the helpful suggestions to myself.
Good luck with your design business and it’s reputation-ruining behaviour.

Thank you for not leaving your critique here. You might have noticed that we at NG are sort of like major corporations: we care about what you have to say, as long as you give us money. We did a survey and found that we make no money from know-it-all critique-inflicters and we make our mountains of dolla$ (that we sleep on and play paintball with caviar guns in) from people that we call “Cool” . So it is up to you which kind of person you are. A customer or a bustomer.

Damn! This would be perfect to me. I get bus to work but when I back home have two street that is all way down before and after my bustops and a portable skate that I could hide inside my backback would be perfect.

I want to show some thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from this type of instance. Just after looking throughout the world-wide-web and getting thoughts which were not helpful, I assumed my entire life was over. Existing devoid of the answers t…

Magnificent goods from you, man. I’ve take note your stuff prior to and you’re simply extremely great. I really like what you have obtained right here, really like what you are stating and the way in which through which you assert it. You are making it entertaining and you continue to care for to stay it wise. I cant wait to learn much more from you. That is actually a terrific site.

Hello, I’m Rosario and I’ve recently begun to get involved with what
you’re speaking about. I don’t know where you’re finding your details, but great job even so.
I really should commit some more time learning and understanding more.
Thanks for this: this is just what I was looking for for
my search.

Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring
a blog article or vice-versa? My site covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I think
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
